Abstract

Korea's Impending Explosion

August 13, 1949 issue

add to cart   close window

North Korea has recently proposed a nation-wide election to establish a constituent assembly to reunite Korea. To have any value such an election would have to be supervised by a truly representative United Nations Commission on Korea, strong enough to restrain repressive police activity on both sides and permit moderates to run and be openly supported. In many ways North Korea mirrors the Communist-dominated portion of China. Little wonder, for three of the five top North Korean leaders are products of Yenan, war-time capital of the Chinese Communists.
